Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 182: Newspaper Boom, Everyone Wants to Start a Newspaper
Pei Xingjian developed a habit of reading newspapers. He also required his ideological guidance officers to read newspapers, especially the "Tang Empire Newspaper". As long as it was published, he would call his soldiers to read it and study it.

"Instructor Pei."

"This is today's newspaper delivered by the gate."

Pei Xingjian nodded.

Although the Prince's Guard's base was not too far from Chang'an, it was inconvenient for him to leave the camp at any time, so he asked someone to buy newspapers in Chang'an City and deliver them to the gate outside the base.

"it is good."

"Thank you very much."

"You're too polite, Instructor."

Pei Xingjian glanced at the newspaper on the table and suddenly shouted, "Wait."

He flipped through the papers and asked in confusion, "Why are there so many newspapers today?"

"What are these Qianqiu Newspaper, Mingshi Newspaper, and Wenxue Newspaper?"

"I don't know either. I'll hand over the person you sent to me."

"alright."

Pei Xingjian first read the "Tang Empire Newspaper" and he knew about the Tang Dynasty Heroes' Monument.

Li Ji went back to participate in the Qingming Festival worship ceremony and has not returned to the camp yet.

He had no control over Li Ji's comings and goings.

However, he did not expect that the court would be so determined.

It is required that local governments build monuments to heroes and martyrs.

One can imagine how much of a stir this move by His Majesty will cause in the military camp.

The existing national flag was used to cover the bodies of the heroes and martyrs when they were buried. A cemetery for the heroes and martyrs was built, and now there is a monument to the heroes and martyrs.

The hearts of millions of soldiers in the world all belong to Your Majesty.

It can be imagined that your majesty's prestige in the army is so high that no one dares to disobey your will.

"Somebody come!"

Pei Xingjian raised his head and shouted to the people outside the door: "Order the ideological leaders at all levels to come to the meeting immediately!"

"Yes!"

After the order was given, he put the newspaper aside and immediately looked at other newspapers.

The Wenxian and Xian newspapers also published the monument to the heroes.

"This is following in the footsteps of the Eastern Palace and promoting it."

Pei Xingjian smiled lightly and looked at the other three newspapers.

This was the first time he had seen it.

When he saw the last words of the Literary Newspaper, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Pei family?

Is this a newspaper published by our clan?

"Could it be that these three are all from Shandong?"

"Is our family also involved?"

From some conversations between Pei Xingjian and Li Ji, as well as from what he heard in Chang'an, he knew about the Eastern Palace's support for the Jiangnan gentry.

I also know that the Wenxian and Wenxian newspapers were published by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

But he was not involved in it and it was none of his business.

But who would have thought that their own company actually published a newspaper.

That’s it…

It’s really hard for him to say, he can only do his duty well.

"report!"

As the shouting sounded, his thoughts were interrupted, and he saw Xue Li and others had arrived.

Pei Xingjian asked everyone to sit down and said with a smile: "It seems that you all have newspapers in your hands."

Xue Li said: "Today I have a few more coins, so I have three more newspapers."

"Chang'an is becoming more and more lively. We can feast our eyes on it."

The others also laughed.

Pei Xingjian smiled, then turned serious and said, "I'm sure you all know why I called you here today."

"The Crown Prince has ordered that all officers and soldiers of the Crown Prince's Guard must study all the content published in the Great Tang Empire Newspaper under the guidance of the Ideological Guidance Organization, understand the spirit of the newspaper, and convey the content of the newspaper to let the officers and soldiers know the decisions and will of the wise and mighty Emperor."

"Yesterday, the monument to the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty..."

He gave a brief talk and said, "After you go down, organize study and unify your thoughts."

"Write down your work experience afterwards. His Royal Highness will send people to check from time to time."

Xue Li and others said loudly: "We will follow the prince's orders!"

"All right."

"Go down and organize it."

After the leaders left, Pei Xingjian checked the time and asked, "Has the Duke of Ying returned?"

"not yet."

"Then there's no need to wait. Tell the captains and above of the Crown Prince's Guard to come to my place for a meeting this afternoon."

"Yes!"

……

Chang'an City is very lively.

As Shandong-based newspapers were published, people who read them exclaimed in amazement.

This is simply the ultimate enjoyment.

Even Li Chengqian did not expect that the Shandong families did not send representatives to unify the publication of newspapers.

Instead, each household, for its own master, established a newspaper and published it in Chang'an.

In a short period of time, the number of newspapers increased from the previous three to more than ten.

This caused the newspaper business in Chang'an City to suddenly become chaotic and overwhelmed.

“So many kinds of newspapers.”

"What on earth are they thinking?"

Chang Sun Chong felt dry mouth and headache from reading.

Even Li Zhi felt a little annoyed.

The content is good and the article is good.

But there are just too many.

"Brother Crown Prince, I seriously doubt that they did not fight with the Jiangnan nobles, but instead they fought among themselves."

Li Zhi complained.

"That's right. With their hand-copied newspapers, their power is dispersed. The circulation of more than a dozen newspapers combined is not even as much as that of Wenxian Newspaper alone."

Chang Sun Chong curled his lips.

"Brother Chong, didn't you ask your uncle for advice?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"I don't ask about family matters." Chang Sun Chong shook his head.

Li Zhi had no choice but to look at Li Chengqian, "Brother Crown Prince, what do you think?"

"How else can I see it?"

Li Chengqian said calmly: "They have a disagreement." "Don't think that Shandong families are of one mind."

"But when it comes to their fundamental interests, who cares about in-laws?"

He understood almost instantly why there were more than a dozen newspapers in Shandong Family.

Compared with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, they only have two dominant families.

Xiao family, Lu family.

Once these two families have reached an agreement and discuss it with other noble families, they can basically make a final decision.

On the other hand, the situation of the Shandong gentry is different. There are too many aristocratic families. If they want to reach a consensus, they must have someone who has the final say.

But among the Shandong families, who can admit that they are inferior to anyone else?

Just because you have a high reputation, does that mean I have a low reputation?
This newspaper is a weapon for fame, and who wouldn't want to further enhance their fame?

If everyone publishes it together, then who owns the newspaper?

Everyone pays, whose article will be published? Who will come up with the classic annotations?

Can these be explained clearly?
Some noble families paid the same amount of money, but their own talented people's articles were placed at the back, and they even published classic annotations. Isn't it obvious that they are at a disadvantage?

Who could be so righteous, noble and great?

If he guessed correctly.

The Shandong family failed to reach a consensus and eventually parted ways, each doing their own thing.

"The benefits are unevenly distributed."

He thought it was funny.

I'm afraid that neither Changsun Wuji nor Gao Shilian can bring this about.

As for how far it can develop.

It’s really hard to judge Li Chengqian.

Anyway.

If they continue like this, the Shandong families will be bleeding themselves and will still be unable to defeat the Jiangnan gentry.

He had previously thought that if the Shandong families banded together, they would be able to fight off the Jiangnan gentry to some extent.

Now it seems that with just this group of scattered sand, Wenxian can blow their heads off with just two reports.

……

"These people are simply unreasonable."

"Everyone has his own agenda."

Chang Sun Wuji was a little angry and didn't know what to say, "More than a dozen newspapers, they are able to do it."

“Is it really a lot of money?”

Gao Shilian's complexion also did not look very good.

They have advised all parties not to lose the big picture for the sake of small gains, but no one cares.

This has led to the current absurd and ridiculous situation.

Cui Dunli and Lu Chengqing also started a quarrel.

The Cui and Lu families argued endlessly over who could publish the article first and who could come up with the classic annotations first.

As for other families, they also have their own calculations.

Everyone is afraid of making wedding dresses for others.

Everyone's reputation is comparable, so there's no reason to make others' reputation higher than yours.

Who is so selfless and devoting?

"If they don't listen, forget it."

"When Xiao Yu and the others become powerful, you will regret it."

Gao Shilian really didn't want to care about it anymore.

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time. I hope they can put aside their differences sooner rather than later."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, somewhat speechless.

"Oh, by the way." Gao Shilian suddenly said, "What do you think about the Gao family and the Changsun family publishing a newspaper together?"

"Anyone can run this newspaper anyway."

"We need fame, too."

These words made Changsun Wuji sit up straight.

Yes.

Everyone can do it.

Why can't we do it?

"Uncle, give me some advice."

"so……."

……

No one had expected that the number of newspapers in Chang'an City would experience an outrageous boom in such a short period of time.

New newspapers appear every day.

Some belong to the Wang family, some to the Zheng family, and some to the Li family.

Dozens of newspapers appeared in Chang'an City, which made people who bought newspapers feel sorry for their wallets.

It’s too much to bear spending dozens of coins every day.

Xiao Yu and Lu Dunxin, however, are sitting on the Diaoyutai.

It's up to you, there are as many options as you want.

If they can beat Wenxian twice, they lose.

The circulation of dozens of newspapers combined is not even half of that of Wenxian and the other two newspapers.

"With their fighting style of each fighting on their own, what can they use to fight us?"

Xiao Yu was full of disdain.

Lu Dunxin smiled and said, "There is almost no obstacle for our newspapers to enter Shandong."

"We win by quantity. We even distribute newspapers to some counties."

“They just can’t catch it.”

"In the long run, unless they come up with some tricks, they will basically be unable to do anything to us."

Xiao Yu said: "I heard that there are people in various places in Shandong who are slandering the Wenxian and Wenxian newspapers?"

"That's true, but true gold is not afraid of fire. Can slander still stop others from buying it? What's the harm of spending a penny?"

Xiao Yu was also in a good mood. "Have all the talented people from each family been sent to the East Palace?"

"They have been sent, and the prince has granted all of them ninth-rank official titles as staff members." Lu Dunxin said.

"That's good."

Xiao Yu said: "The Crown Prince's Consort is also pregnant. It would be great if she gave birth to a boy."

Hearing this, Lu Dunxin also smiled.

His Lu family's eldest daughter, Lu Liangyuan, is also pregnant.

Everyone is looking forward to giving birth to a boy, so that their status in the prince's eyes will be higher.

The relationship will become closer.
